jerseyjay Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I have been away from this forum for a long while now. A) limited time B ) I smoke less CCs than I used to (let's not get into the whys). Today I get the following Private Message from a member of this forum. My initial reaction - has to be spam!!! I poked around and he seems to be an active member that is either mentally disturbed or loves to stir ****. My cabinets are filled w/ CCs and non-CCs. According to Mr.Expert, I'm ignorant, bullheaded and can't see the big picture just b/c I posted few non-CC photographs on this forum. You made my day, pal! LOL At the end of the day, as long as you are burning premium tobacco, I don't care what you are smoking. Enjoy it! QUOTE from Private Message "I don't get it! This is a habano forum yet every post from you is a picture of some noncuban shitstick!? Ya know, when I first started smoking cigars back in the early 90's, I smoked noncubans and even into the mid 2000's, consistently bought Davidoffs, Opus, and Tats. But as I've matured as a smoker/purchaser of cigars, I've found not only is a cigar NOT just a cigar, but there is absolutely no comparison between noncuban cigars and habanos. Noncubans, no matter how premium they are, represent to me the absolute and utter hypocrisy of the "free world" and capitalism. We're supposed to be "free" and live in the ultimate economic system yet we're subjected to ONLY being able to purchase cigars and rum of subpar, monotonic quality. Again, this is a habanos forum, not a noncuban shitstick forum, run by a vendor of habanos, yet every photo you put up is one of these stupid subpar shitsticks! To me, in my eyes, it is extremely disrespectful and ignorant on your part and honestly, you are exact the type of cigar smoker I steer clear of. You're ignorant, bullheaded, and can't see the big picture even if it hit you on the head. I'm glad you don't post here anymore to be honest." 1
Orion21 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 That's disgusting. Post his username and see what he has to say for himself. The FOH 7 Commandments: "Every community needs a set of rules and guidelines to provide guidance for the benefit of the community as a whole. Very little moderation is required on FOH because its members are "Keepers of the Culture" which has made FOH one of the leading forums in the world. RULE 1 NO Attacks Against Other Members. Let your benchmark always be "does this post Enhance the FOH Community" and you won't go wrong." People who judge others for their personal tastes are exactly the types to avoid. If this user is so disturbed by you smoking non-Cuban cigars it says a lot about said user. P.S. There is nothing in the Rules that state anything about not posting, discussing or singing to the heavens the love of non-Cuban cigars. We are all Brother's and Sister's of the Leaf, not just Cuban Leaf. I may not love non-Cuban cigars, but I would never ever put someone down for enjoying them. I have a feeling 99.9999999999% of the members here feel the same way. 2
Popular Post cigarbreak Posted June 24, 2015 Popular Post Posted June 24, 2015 bwahahahah what a ******. Very disturbing indeed! Someone send him a care package of Non Cubans... 6
btp1979 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 What a ****. I must have a different definition of shitstick. It's the thing I use to fling dog poo out of the way when I'm mowing my yard. Smoke what you like and feel free to share. I think an objective compare and contrast between different cigars of all regions is what really draws me to this community. But hey, every now and then you need an ******* so the moderators don't get bored 1
Rye Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Wow, that's was a message sent in poor taste. I think I can hear the ban-hammer swinging!!
vintagerodshop Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 "You're ignorant, bullheaded, and can't see the big picture even if it hit you on the head. I'm glad you don't post here anymore to be honest." It would seem the offender has a pretty good handle on his own personality. 1
UpInSmoak Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Wow, that's incredible! Extremely rude and distasteful IMO by the original PM'er Smoke what you like my brother! 1
Popular Post LordAnubis Posted June 24, 2015 Popular Post Posted June 24, 2015 Mate PM El Presidente, or myself, or any of the other mods the username of the person who sent that. Yes this is a Habanos forum but what you smoke is your business, Fraternity, Friendship, Laughter, Loyalty is all you need to be part of the team here. Keep on smoking whatever you enjoy mate. 15
smokum Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Yeah that's messed up. I guess if you started smoking cigars during the early 90's you become some kind of expert on what other people should smoke. Stroke. 1
TomF Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 There's always at least one in every crowd. What an ass. 1
CigarAsh Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 It's kind of ironic. I've recently gone back and smoked a number of the non-Cubans I've had in my humidors for several years. Had some extremely good smokes that remind me why I bought them all in the first place. Taste is subjective, but ignorance isn't. Glad you're taking the PM someone sent you as comic relief as it should be. I vote for the ban hammer (as if my opinion means anything!).
Popular Post El Presidente Posted June 24, 2015 Popular Post Posted June 24, 2015 PM me so I can take care of it. 8

I get a laugh every time you post with that crazy avatar.
Puros Y Vino Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 That PM while hidden from the rest of the forum crosses the line. It's one thing to have an opinion, it's another to express it like that. You're not doing anything wrong @jerseyjay. 2
jerseyjay Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 All, Thanks for your input. I have been part of different online communities since very early 90s and this PM is my first where I literally scratched my head and wondered - where the f*** did that come from. I looked back and did notice a mixture of CC/non-CC photographs. If I only knew that this ratio will hurt someone's feelings the way it did. LMFAO! Anyway ... glad I wasn't off w/ my assessment of his PM. You all have a great day and enjoy whatever you smoke! PM me so I can take care of it. It's ok. Let him enjoy this forum. There is tons of good content / good people here. Hopefully he will read this and realize what he did. If you still need his nickname, I will provide.

wabashcr Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I've posted pics of NCs here before, never thought anyone cared. I know they're not everyone's cup of tea, but I've found an overwhelming majority of the members here to be non-judgmental, especially about individual cigar preferences. I've always assumed the stated tenets of Fraternity, Friendship, Laughter & Loyalty supersede any cigar-related discussion in terms of importance, even though it is indeed a cigar community. Without knowing who the offender is, I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds the tone of the PM in question somewhat familiar. 3

oliverdst Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Devil's advocate. It would be good to check the IP. Really, really strange story - not saying it didn't happen - but this behaviour is so out of the normal for a regular member that maybe Rob should hear what the guy has to say prior to ban him.
westg Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 My favourite video review of all time is Rob smoking a Drew Estate on this Forum ... Under crown check it out 4
CaptainQuintero Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Sorry you had to experienced that me old mucker, post whatever you wish and enjoy doing it because we will enjoy reading
Vortigan Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I would of bet a box of cigars on it!!! I'm not quite that confident but I reckon I'd add a 5er to that bet! Either way the forum will be minus one total **** very shortly,if not already 1
OZCUBAN Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Well done ignorance and intolerance will not be a part of this forum enough said
